We look for WEBINSANE, WEBINSPIRED, WEBADDICTED students to join our software contest launching event.

You can read the Project Proposals here:

1. Mobile VNC server - Implement a “lightweight” VNC server for mobile. What “lightweight” means must be defined.

2. XSidebar - Implement an easy customizable/scriptable cross-browser sidebar. This is not part of a specific web page, but augments the web browser. It is usually implemented as web browser add-on.

3. RSS mobile widget – a mobile widget (not standalone application) capable of displaying an RSS feed.

4. Rendering engine in Firefox – implement a Firefox add-on that will integrate different rendering engines like IE (multiple versions), Webkit or Opera in Firefox. A project can implement only one rendering engine, but all the projects must be interoperable.

5. Anti-spam application for mobile – an application that will block spam (SMS, email, instant messages) for mobile. This will integrate with a community anti-spam server.

6. SyncML for bookmarks – define a SyncML protocol for bookmarks and implement it for mobile and/or major browsers.

7. Mobile gallery – an image gallery that works with different source like local images, Flickr, Snapfish, Picassa, Google Images etc. New sources should be easy to configure and add.

8. ORM framework over web services – an ORM framework that works with web services instead of relational database. As an example, SharePoint web services will be used. The implementation can be done in Java or C#.

9. Mobile/desktop/web reporting widget – a widget that will display a chart (pie, bar etc) aggregating data from web services. This can be used in conjunction with ORM framework over web services project. The widget will be implemented on a mobile platform, desktop or within a web page.

10. XSLT browser add-on – a browser add-on that is applying an XSLT and displaying result on-the-fly for the current tab.

11. VoiceXML mobile browser (hint: leverage mobile voice recognition and speech synthesis capabilities of the device)

Considerations for all proposals

· For mobile applications the following platforms can be used: Android, webOS, iPhone OS, Symbian, Windows Mobile, RIM or any other major one. For a project a team can consider only one implementation, but all the implementations (even from different teams) must be interoperable and offer a similar user experience.

· For browsers add-ons the following browsers will be considered: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari.
